Chapter 205 204. Night Patrol
Although the rovers travel all over the world, their range of activities is actually not very far. Most of them wander around the countryside, so it is not uncommon for them to know each other.
When they get to know each other, they will stick together. However, after the weak join the team, they will mistakenly think that they have become strong, and will develop greed that does not match their strength.
Anyone with a little discernment knows very well that all the assets of everyone in the entire longhouse may not be as valuable as the sword on Lan En's back.
The ronin kill for money, and they are not samurai who can be loyal to others. What kind of loyalty and faith can they talk about?
Therefore, the resentment of his group for not being taken seriously by the master, coupled with the greed for swords and money, this group of ronin gathered by Heihachiro, the evil in the eyes even Kotaro can see.
After an inadvertent eye contact with Lan En, Kotaro, a rather wretched-looking but actually not bad guy, said no more words to remind him.
Not only is he not bad, he is not stupid either.
The Hirata family's tight manpower made it impossible for the Ronin group to rest even after the rewards were given on the first day of formation.
Lan En needs to arrange the patrol personnel list now and then work according to shifts.
These things will be very troublesome for these uneducated and mostly inexperienced wanderers.
But in Lan En’s memory, his ‘predecessors’ even coordinated the transportation of materials for an entire star system.
For him, this kind of thing is as simple as elementary school math problems.
But now, he not only wants to get the job done, he also wants to solve the problem.
The sound of armors colliding with each other sounded, and Lan En stood up from the wooden floor. The movement made everyone look at him in unison.
There was a gentle smile on the demon hunter's face, "Today is the first day of our work, and I will set an example. The patrol members tonight are me, Heihachiro and others. After today, we will follow the schedule. ."
"Oh! !"
The Rongers who were not named cheered and knelt down in the direction of Lan En.
The story of a general taking the lead has been sung for a long time because it is rare enough.
The Rongers are obsessed with the position of the leader because in their concept, the leader should eat better and rest more than the team members.
They have never seen a person like Lan En in their lives.
The seven members of Heihachiro's group whose names were all called had their eyes filled with surprise at first, and then after hearing that at the end of the list, except for themselves and Lan En, there were no more people left. They stood up laughing.
Swaggeringly walked in front of Lan En.
Suddenly, everyone’s expressions became subtle.
This group of ronin can also feel the hostility of Heihachiro and his group towards the leader at this time.
A few people even frowned and opened their mouths to say something, but in the end, everyone just stared without speaking.
Only Lan En, as if he didn't feel anything, followed them towards the gate of Pingtian Manor with his expression unchanged.
"Hey, your backer is going to be in trouble. Don't you say something?"
After the group of people went out, a ronin approached Kotaro with a joking smile.
But then, Kotaro shook his head indifferently. "Sir, don't tease me. We are all in the same group. Why are we in trouble?"
The ronin glanced at Kotaro as if he was a fool, then turned around and lay down to sleep.
But behind him, Kotaro looked at him with the same eyes.
When Lan En followed Heihachiro and his group in front, they were stopped by the guards at the gate of Heitian Manor.
It was not until Lan En stepped forward and gave the credentials that came with the appointment that he was allowed to pass.
One of the gate guards was a soldier wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat to protect him from the cold dew at night. He held the brim of his hat and raised his eyes to look at Heihachirou and the others who were standing in front of them, looking unorganized and arrogant.
Then he turned to look at Lan En, who was giving the certificate, and sneered. "The trouble is too big to be settled."
Lan En just shrugged and did not respond.
Then, the soldier in the hat waved back and opened the door.
The sound of running water in Longquan River gradually became clearer. Lan En and his group of eight did not cross the wooden bridge at the entrance, but patrolled upstream along the side of Pingtian Village.
The soldiers guarding the gate watched as their torches grew farther and smaller in the darkness.
"Let me say, group leader." An ashigaru tilted his head in the direction of the man in the hat and asked, "What do you mean by talking to that little white-faced guy just now? It's obvious that those people want to cause trouble for him. Right? "
The team leader looked at his subordinates in surprise.
"Very good, you have some eyesight now."
The ashigaru showed a silly smile, and the next moment, the group leader slapped him on the forehead.
"Pa - But what's the use of just having eyesight? Can eyesight kill people? I told you to practice swordsmanship more, but you just didn't listen! The footsteps of the seven people just now were so loose that even you could hear them. But behind that silver-haired man Did you feel that there was anyone there before the guy walked out of the darkness?"
After saying that, the group leader with the hat turned around and looked at the darkness where the flames were no longer visible.
“You make a living by killing people, but you can’t even see who you are killing.”
“You deserve to die.”
Follow the Longquan River Patrolling upstream, the river can even appear to have good visibility when the moon is not obscured by dark clouds.
As the group walked, the woods gradually became denser, and the terrain became characteristic of Ashina - high, low and steep.
The few people walking in front of Lan En slowly stopped in unison.
Lan En also naturally looked back in the direction of Pingtian Manor. The light of the fixed torch placed at the gate was completely invisible at this distance.
Now, except for the torches in a few people's hands and the moonlight above their heads, there is no extra light source.
A good place to do business and hide secrets.
Heihachiro and others moved slowly, surrounding Lan En in the middle, and each took out their samurai swords from their waists.
After staying away from Pingtianzhuang, we can completely blame the unexpected and damned inner government army for the death.
A few people had sinister smiles on their faces.
He is just a kid with a strange background. No one has beaten the Hirata family samurai. Why does he seem more powerful in the eyes of adults? Isn’t it just that he looks good?
The leader, Heihachiro himself, bared his big yellow teeth under the firelight. The eyes that stared directly at the hilt of the sword behind Lan En almost glowed.
"You!"
Under the joking eyes of everyone, the Sword of the Lake Lady that Lan En originally carried on his back had been unsheathed, and at some point, it was placed at his side.
It's like I just slashed.
No! That's not 'like'. He just really waved a sword in front of everyone!
Heihachiro, the man who had never spoken to Lan En from beginning to end, had a bloody mouth on his neck in full view of everyone.
Then, blood spurted out!
The faint laughter of the wanderers just now stopped suddenly, like a duck being pinched by the neck.
"Let me state it in advance, you shouldn't think that" In the night, the demon hunter slowly raised his head, his eyes shining slightly.
“I am a very disciplined young man, right, fellow ‘colleagues’?”
